We use a new technique to disseminate microwave reference signals along ordinary optical fiber. The fractional frequency resolution of a link of 86 km in length is 10-17 for a one day integration time, a resolution higher than the stability of the best microwave or optical clocks. We use the link to compare the microwave reference and a CO2/OsO4 frequency standard that stabilizes a femtosecond laser frequency comb. This demonstrates a resolution of 3.10-14 at 1 s. An upper value of the instability introduced by the femtosecond laser-based synthesizer is estimated as 1.10-14 at 1 s.
Measuring absolute frequencies beyond the GPS limit via long-haul optical frequency dissemination
全球定位系统(GPS)频率标准的传播目前无处不在,为全世界大多数工业和研究应用提供最广泛的时间和频率参考。另一方面,全球定位系统的极限目前限制了依赖这种传播方案的高精度、科学和工业应用的进一步发展。在这里,我们证明,这些限制可以可靠地克服,即使在实验室中没有本地原子钟取代GPS与642公里长的光纤链接到远程主铯频率标准。通过这种配置,我们在$^{173}$ Yb的超冷气体中稳定地解决了$^1$ S $_0$-$^3$ P $_0$时钟转换,其精度超过了基于GPS的测量的可能性,从而消除了对本地时钟基础设施的需求,以执行超出GPS限制的高精度任务。我们还报告了文献中报道的过渡频率的准确性提高了两个数量级。
